        "Asked whether the president 'should have the power to authorize the
        NSA to monitor electronic communications of suspected terrorists
        without getting warrants, even if one end of the communication is in
        the U.S.?' - 58 percent of those surveyed said yes.
        ... Fifty percent of those surveyed called those responsible for
        blowing the NSA's cover 'traitors,' while just 27 percent agreed with
        media claims that the leakers were 'whistleblowers.'"
        \_ those who sacrifice freedom for safety deserve neither.
           \_ misquote.
           \_ This is the year I finally break down and buy a gun.
              \_ Good luck if you live in SF...
                 \_ Where I'm moving, it's practically illegal to not own
                    a gun.  The apocalypse is coming, and I'm gonna be ready.
           \_ Americans don't mind sacrificing the freedom of "suspected
              terrorists", as long as they're not one or a close friend of one.

4/6     The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 gives the president the ability to
        "declare a cybersecurity emergency" and shut down or limit Internet
        traffic in any "critical" information network "in the interest of
        national security." The bill does not define a critical information

West Coast Conservative Americans overwhelmingly support President Bush's decision to wiretap suspected terrorists operating inside the US without first obtaining a court order - and a solid plurality believe those who leaked news of the secret operation are "traitors," a Fox News Opinion Dynamics poll has found. Asked whether the president "should have the power to authorize the National Security Agency to monitor electronic communications of suspected terrorists without getting warrants, even if one end of the communication is in the United States?" According to Dick Morris, who reveals the poll's stunning results in today's New York Post - even 42 percent of Democrats back the Bush surveillance program. The results flatly contradict a widely reported Associated Press poll two weeks ago, which sampled a dispropotionate percentage of Democrats and concluded that the public objected to the Bush surveillance program. In another stunning finding, the Fox poll found by that a margin of nearly 2 to 1, the American public believes that those responsible for exposing the super secret surveillance program have betrayed the country. Fifty percent of those surveyed called those responsible for blowing the NSA's cover "traitors," while just 27 percent agreed with media claims that the leakers were "whistleblowers." By a margin of 42 to 34 percent, even Democrats agreed with the "traitor" label. And a solid plurality of those surveyed - 46 percent - credit Bush administration counterterrorism efforts for preventing al Qaeda from carrying out another 9/11-style attack on the US Notes Morris: "These statistics tell us that Democratic politicians are just hurting themselves by raising and dwelling on the wiretap issue . We're more afraid of al Qaeda than of our own elected officials." "In other words," he adds, "Ann Coulter represents the Democratic mainstream better than Al Gore on this one!" View Replies To: West Coast Conservative It's about time they were called Traitors by elected politicians and strung up for that Treason. But, yeah, the American public doesn't think treason is a quaint antique practice. View Replies To: pissant If a democRAT senator or congresscritter leaked information about this program, that person must resign and face prosecution for leaking classifed material and for treason. View Replies To: West Coast Conservative This is backfiring big time on the Dems and the MSM Every time they bring up the subject it forces people, even those who are having second thoughts on the war, to reflect upon the fact that we have not been attacked since 9/11 and Bush has been on top of our surveillance strategies. Republican or Democrat: Any Senator who leaked this information should be first expelled from the Senate and then prosecuted to the fullest extent. Also, we need a draconian law similar to England's Official Secrets Act to deter further leaking. View Replies To: West Coast Conservative The results flatly contradict a widely reported Associated Press poll two weeks ago, which sampled a dispropotionate percentage of Democrats and concluded that the public objected to the Bush surveillance program. the Democrats were hoping to get some MILEAGE from this one ... They expected huge numbers of Americans to boil because of this "scandal." But then again, they live in a world where Daniel Ellsburg is a hero, the Summer of Love never turned to winter, and love beads are the season's "must-have" fashion accessory.
